Sopho Khalvashi is a Georgian musician. She comes from a family of Adjarian origin. It was announced on December 12, 2006 that she would represent her home nation at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The song "Visionary Dream" was Georgia's first entry into the contest...

. This was Georgia's debut at the Contest. The song was originally titled "My Story".

The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Sopho singing about how much she enjoys life. Her performance featured four male dancers executing a series of spinning and kicking moves behind her.

The video for the song is a celebration of Georgian culture and heritage; it alternates between a monochrome city scene and a colorful open landscape where Sopho sings amid mountains and national monuments. Line-art motifs decorate the screen, and at times modern dancers perform and folkloric dancers form a human tower. In one scene, Sopho lights an oil lamp, and the words of an antique manuscript come into view; in another, Sopho views a modern painting in a gallery and a spinning soldier-dancer appears.

As this was Georgia's Contest debut, Sopho was required to perform in the semi-final. Here, she performed 6th (following Iceland
